At first glance, spot on! Although something that everyone seems to have missed in these posts is that Apple have always played in more a professional market,eg: Photography, Publishing, videography, motion graphics etc.. It has taken its time, however thanks to some clever Apple marketing and consumer toys (iPod) Apple have spilled over into Msofts consumer playing field and are dominating it! Yes its true Msft dominates the small business/admin side of things, but creative professional or "NowÂthe creative hobbyist, not even close.

I must admit I tried Myth TV and struggled with the DVB (also used in Australia) drivers too but they are around. However my question is, can (or does) the Microsoft Media Centre suffer from the same network issues (Virus,Trojans etc) as XP/2000, once coneected to the net to download media??
